TO THE READER
The work of compiling this genealogy was begun by Mr.
Brown Thurston, of Portland, Me., in 1888. Although at that
time Mr. Thurston was far advanced in years (74), nevertheless,
he collected many facts and much data, and awakened consider-
able interest in this work. Early in the compilation of this volume
I gave Mr. Thurston much assistance by personal search among
probate and other court records, by reviewing published town
histories, by gathering names from the vital statistics of towns
and cities and by personal interviews with individuals bearing the
Greenwood name. Since Mr. Thurston's death, which occurred
Apr. 18, 1900, I have been actively engaged, unassisted, in push-
ing this work to completion and I feel much pride in what I have
accomplished. I give the reader of this volume the ancient Eng-
lish Greenwood records, which cannot be other than of deep inter-
est to him. By these records an unbroken line of ancestry can
be traced from the present day, running through a period of over
700 years, back to the very beginning of the name Greenwood. It
is seldom, indeed, that in any published family history has such a
work as this been accomplished. The English records do not con-
tain a list of every Greenwood who has descended from the first
head. Such a list would fill many volumes, but the pedigree fur-
nished gives a direct line of descent which is reliable and can be
substantiated. That the name Greenwood had its beginning with
Wyomarus, the first in the list of the English records, there can
be no doubt. The earliest pedigrees affirm it and the earliest
English records of all kinds are in proof of the fact. I have
ascertained and give the exact locality where Wyomarus Green-
wode lived and there are to be found in this volume illustrations
showing home places of his immediate descendants. The earliest
Greenwood wills recorded at York, England, I have abstracted
and publish in this work. As showing the varied early spelling of
the name Greenwood and in throwing light upon the method of
living in ancient times, these wills are of exceeding interest. I
have obtained and given in this work an extended account of the
life, trial and execution of Rev. John Greenwood, an honored an-
cestor of many Greenwoods in America, who for religious con-
victions suffered death in England by the hand of the authorities
of the English Established Church. He was a Separatist and he
is the accredited founder of the Congregational religion as prac-
ticed today in New England.
vi Greenwood Genealogies
It has taken much time, ])atience and expense to obtain all the
English information found in this volume and I would particularly
thank Mrs, M, E. Gibson, the present owner of Greenwood Lee, in
Heptonstall, Enf^., for much assistance she has ^iven me in col-
lecting facts in Greenwood history and concerning her own home.
My thanks for assistance are also due Mr. J. Fred Greenwood,
of Ilarworth, in Yorkshire, Eng.
It is surprising what a great amount of difficulty a compiler
finds in a work of this character. Many families there are that
keep no records of births, marriages and deaths. In such cases
town records must be searched and if the search is made by the
clerk of the town a fee must be paid for the service. Many mem-
bers of families have become separated — children have grown up
and gone away. Search for the members must be made ; their
location is often doubtful and many letters of inquiry sent out
are returned to the writer unclaimed. The heads of families may
know something of their own births and marriages but very little
of their parents, much less of their grand parents and strictly
nothing of their great grandparents and this necessitates personal
search by the compiler of church, town or city records. After a
family has been located and its record obtained then the family
must be placed under its direct line of descent and this at times
requires further search of records.
It has taken years of hard, diligent labor to produce this
volume.
I see no reason why every Greenwood in America has not reason
to feel satisfied Avith the Greenwood family as a whole. If town
records in rare instances reveal a Greenwood name on the list of
pauper subjects there are abundant instances that testify to the
perseverance, thrift, enterprise and capability of the Greenwoods.
This volume will reveal to you many Greenwoods who have won
distinction in life and who occupy homes of beauty and abundance
as a result of their labors. In every avocation of life you find a
Greenwood name. This volume will tell you of Greenwoods who
are heads of educational institutions, of Greenwoods well known in
the ministry of the Gospel ; they are among the skillful physicians
of the country, are in the list of journalists and authors, are tal-
ented lawyers, are members of state legislatures, are at the head
of large and prosperous manufacturing plants and are successful
merchants. Also do we find Greenwoods who are pursuing the
healthful avocations of tillers of the soil.
The family of Greenwoods is not as large as many others in
America, yet it has many members.
What we have sought in this volume is positive accuracy.
Matters of a doubtful nature we leave unpublished. Dates and
To THE Readee vii
names we verify and if there are errors in this work they come
from the sources of our information.
Genealogy is not a new study in life. Burk says, "Those only
deserve to be remembered who treasure up the history of their
ancestry." It was not beneath the consideration of the creator of
man, who as author of the Bible, very carefully instructed the
writer of the book of Genesis to record the genealogy of Noah and
to give all the facts that made it necessary to so effectually wipe
out that generation of man from the earth, and with equal care, to
record the virtues that saved his own family from the same de-
struction.
The interest in genealogical research is increasing in America
as is shown in the number of family histories being published and
the time has now come when every person of intelligence cares to
know something of his ancestry'. Prominent men of today are
learning of their ancestry and making mention of it.
It seems to us that a work of the character of this volume can-
not be other than a matter of great interest to every Greenwood.
In this volume he finds his own record in life. The records in
plain readable type also of his father, mother, brothers and sis-
ters are given and if he cares to go back further here are the life
records of grandparents and great grandparents and all of his
ancestry running back to the earliest of his name. What a book
for reference this is ! In no other form can one get such a record
— so compact, so accessible, so complete. We believe that the
time is at hand when all individual life records are to be more
faithfully kept than in the past and the work in the future in
compiling a volume of this kind will be made less difficult.

EXPLANATION
The names of Greenwoods and their immediate descendants are
numbered consecutively through the volume.
The small figures after each Greenwood name denote the gen-
eration and the generations begin with the first ancestor in this
country.
This character -f- placed before any name, denotes that fur-
ther on in the book the same number will be found and same name,
in larger type, placed so as to attract attention at once. Under
these figures the history and children of the person named are
given.
The grandchildren, when introduced after the first appear-
ance of the name, are set a little further in from the margin than
the children.
The indexes are very simple, referring to every name by num-
ber. There are five indexes. The first contains the descendants of
Thomas Greenwood of Newton and those who married into that
family. The second index contains descendants of Nathaniel and
Samuel Greenwood of Boston, the third refers to the Virginia fam-
ily, the fourth the Greenwoods and descendants who have come to
America since the early pioneers and the fifth contains names I
am unable to connect with any direct line of ancestry.

AXCIENT ENGLISH RECORDS
The following ancient English records were in the keeping of
James Greenwood of York in 1715 and were in the keeping of
Joseph Greenwood Clayton, of New Laithes, County York, Eng.,
in 1816. The first part is written upon parchment and shows a
direct line of descent from Wyomarus [cater to Maud the Em-
press] who established a home in the forest in Heptonstall, in
England, overlooking the beautiful Hebden Valley, 1154, and is
the progenitor of the Greenwood family. A copy of these records
is to be found in the College of Arms, London, Eng., and with
these records is a drawing of the arms of Wyomarus.

THE GREENWOOD ARMS
A ccMit of arms may be defined as a mark of dignity or distinc-
tion descending from the fatlier to the son. An old English print
says that the intention of a coat of arms was to honor and adorn
the family of him who had deserved well towards his country, to
make that person more worthy and famous above those who had
not done service, to the end that others might be encouraged to do
service also. Coats of arms were intended also to establish a dif-
ference in lineage between the son of the noble ancestor so that the
eldest son might be known from the second son, he from the third,
and so on.
The ancient Romans, as a distinguishing mark, carried an
eagle. The ensign of the French (Gallia) was a cock, that of the
Scandinavians the horse, and the Persians a dove. Constantine,
the first Christian emperor, instituted the order of Chevaliers and
the members wore on their breasts the ensign of the cross. From
Constantine individual families began to wear distinguishing
marks and from these marks armorial bearing, or coats of arms,
originated.
In the early times families that bore marks of distinction were
those which had been given the right to bear arms and the right
to carry arms was given only to free men, the gentry, nobility, and
certain ofl^cers. The privilege of bearing arms was a most hon-
orable distinction, for it not only testified to the rank of the orig-
inal founder of the family, but it also testified to the character of
the founder as well. No dishonorable family was ever permitted
to bear arms.
Today in England any person on whom an honorary rank or
title has been bestowed by the Sovereign is entitled to a coat of
arms. Any subject of Great Britain, with or without rank or
title, or any business firm or incorporated body, may petition for
a coat of arms and if in the judgment of the Earl Marshal in
England, the Lyon King in Scotland and the Ulster King of Arms
in Ireland, who each have authority over their respective oflSces,
the applicant has sufficient standing he may be granted a coat of
arms.
Armorial bearings are of two kinds. The highest class consists
of a shield with side sujjporters, and a crest, along with a motto.
Only members of the Peerage in England and those specially priv-
ileged are entitled to use the supporters. The supporters to the
royal arms of England are a lion on one side and a unicorn on the
6
The Greenwood Arms 7
other side of the shield. The common coat of arms consists of a
shield with various devices upon its face. A person assigned a
coat of arms usually selects his own devices and the devices chosen
represent in some way a history of the family. The devices chosen
with their arrangement upon the shield is protected by patent and
can be used only by the patentee. The cost of the patent in Great
Britain is quite considerable.
The devices in the Greenwood coat of arms consist of three
silver St. Andrew's crosses. The crosses are set upon a dark shield
and are separated by a silver band representing two rafters of a
house and known as a chevron. The band is ornamented with
sable furs or ermines. In heraldry the description of these arms
reads : "Sable, a chevron ermines between 3 saltiers argent." For
ages the cross has been known as an emblem of religion and in
these arms of Wyomarus Greenwode they represent interest in
religious matters or religious zeal displayed by Wyomarus and his
family.
A coat of arms in families shows lineal descent.
Thoresby's history of Leeds, Eng., published 1715, gives the
date of the arms of Wyomarus de Greenwode as 1154.
Dictionary of heraldic terms used in Greenwood coat of arms :
Fess — wide band across center of shield.
Argent — silver.
Sable — black.
Spurrowles — pointed stars.
Chevron — 'band shaped like rafters of a building.
Ermines — small marks of the shape represented in the cut.
Saltier — cross in the form of an X.
Crest — appendage to edge of shield.
Demi-lion — half lion.
Rampant — standing upright.
Chief — upper part of the escutcheon.

Arms of Rev. John Greenwood, who was rector of Brampton, Norfolk
County, England, from 1620 to 1663. He was ejected from his ministry in
1630 by the Parliamentary party but returned again. His daughters, Anne
and Elizabeth, were born at Brampton. His will proved at Norwich, Eng.,
Oct., 1663, was sealed with these arms and in the will was a reference to a
ring testator wore, on the stone of which was a cut of the same armorial
bearings. He was son of Rev. Christopher Greenwood, rector of Shottesham,
County Norfolk, Eng., who died February, 1607-8, and whose brother, Edward
Greenwood, was rector of Great Dunham, Swaffham, County Norfolk, who
died 1591. Description of arms: Sable, a chevron ermines between 3 saltiers
argent; crest, a demi-lion rampant or, holding in his paws a saltier argent.
The above are descendants of Wyomarus Greenwode through James and
wife, Michael.
Joseph Edmondson, F, S. A., in his Complete Body of Heraldry, published,
London, Eng., 1780, refers to the above arms as being in use at Burg-Castle,
in Suffolk, and Castleton, Greenwood and Norton-Bruin, in Oxfordshire.
J. Bernard Burke in General Armory adds Brookwood Park, County Hants,
as having Greenwoods using the same arms.

AUJIS OF THE GREENWOODS OF WESTEHTON
In 1,565 Thomas Greenwood, of I>earings, in Hoptonstall, Eng., and his son,
Thomas, purehasi-d of Richard Bunny and Bridgett, his wife, lands in Newton,
Waitcfield, Alverthorpe, Tliorncs and Stanley, in Yorkshire, and by the tran-
saction Bimny Hall, Red Hall, Westcrton Hall and Melborne Hall, with lands
attaclu'd, passed into the hands of the Gre<'nwoods, who became known as the
Greenwoods of Westerton — the jilace now known as West Ardsley, Eng., three
and onc-lialf miles from Wakefield. The old Brown Hall has passed into
decay and in recent years was used as a farm house. The head of this family
was a Robert Greenwood. According to Duifdale'tt VixUation of York, Surtees
Society publication, vol. 'M, in lO'S.i Rolicrt Greenwood, of West Ardsley,
aged 52, on the 5th of April, entered his ])edigre<' showing him to be the third
son to Robert Greenwood of the same place and grandson to James Green-
wood by .M<'rcia, daughter of Mr. Broome, of Broome Hall, Yorkshire, and
great grandson of Robert Greenwood, younger son to a Greenwood of Green-
wood Lee, in Heptonslall, Yorkshire, by Alice Shaw, 'daughter of Paul Shaw,
of Hangingroyd, in parish of Heptonstall. Description of Westerton arms:
Sable, a chevron ermin«-s between 3 saltiers argent; and crest, a leopard sejant.
In 15H7 a Robert Greenwood, of Inner Temple, gent, was deputy steward
of Wakefield and Bradford manors.

ABMS OF THE GREEXWOODS OF SWARCLIFFE HALL
In 1612 one John Greenwood described as a French merchant, or one who
traded in French goods, purchased land in Wrenthorpe, Eng., and built a
convenient brick house there with a wall of brick which enclosed 3 or 4 acres
of his estate. The house became known as Red Hall. Wrenthorpe joined
the township of Stanley, in the parish of Wakefield, and was about one mile
north of that town. This branch of the Greenwood family was afterwards
described as of Stapleton, 41/2 miles southeast of Pontefract. They claimed
to bear arms same as the Westerton Greenwoods, with slight additions, and
to be of that family. A few years after 1612 Mr. John Greenwood sold his
property at Wrenthorpe and later years the Greenwoods lived at Swarcliffe
Hall, 4 miles from Ripley. From Dugdale's Visitation of York it appears
that the Greenwoods of Stapleton descended from James Greenwood, a
younger brother of the Greenwoods of Greenwood Lee. Description of arms:
Percher, sable and argent, a chevron ermines between 3 saltiers, couped,
counterchanged.
J. Bernard Burke, in General Armory, thus describes the above arm: Per
chev. sable and argent, a chev. between 3 saltiers, couped, counterchanged;
crest, tiger sejant.

ENGLISH HISTORY OF THE FAMILY AXD
ORIGIN OF THE NAME
For full seven centuries the surname Greenwood has been in
use in England. The early English Greenwood records given in
this volume and a long Greenwood pedigree now in the College of
Arms, in London, Eng., show the progenitor of the Greenwood
family in England to have been a Wyomarus de Greenwode. All
family records of Anglo-Saxon extraction are believed to run
back to this Wyomarus and the name Greenwood may be regarded
as having had its beginning with him. This Wyomarus was ca-
terer to Maud, the Empress, mother of King Henry II, who
reigned in England A. D. 1154-1189. Wyomarus furnished the
provisions for the household of the Empress Maud (known also
as Matilda) and was of the titled gentry or nobility of his time.
His coat of arms, which all Greenwoods are entitled to use, appears
in this volume.
In the township of Heptonstall, Eng. (which is in the West
Riding of Yorkshire), lYo miles from Heptonstall village, on the
old Roman highway, which leads from Heptonstall to Colne, there
stands today a grand old hall or manor house, built of hand-hewed
stone. This house, which is of such ample pretentions as to be
known as a mansion, has for many centuries been standing here.
It is set high up on the slope of what is known as Hardcastle
Crags, or Hebden Valley. It overlooks this beautiful wooded
valley and the scene presented is picturesque and enchanting.
Many tourists are attracted to this spot by the grandeur of the
scene. According to Thoresby's history of Leeds, published 1715,
and from the records which appear in this volume, this mansion
was built by Wyomarus or his immediate descendants and was
their home place. The mansion with its buildings and land at-
tached is known as Greenwood Lee. The mansion is 20 miles due
west from Leeds and is 2 miles distant from the flourishing cotton
manufacturing town of Hebden Bridge.
Three-fourths of a mile from Greenwood Lee, on the same old
Roman road leading from Heptonstall to Colne, is a second build-
ing of stone and is known as High Greenwood. This structure
was rebuilt 100 years ago and is now much changed from its for-
mer appearance. In the neighborhood of Greenwood Lee and
High Greenwood there are today such places as Gi'eenwood Lee
Wood, High Greenwood Wood, Greenwood Lee Clough, Green
15
16 Greenwood Genealogies
Hill and others, and the public records of Heptonstall show that
these places were formerly included in what was once known as
Greenwood. It was a little scttleniemt in itself. At one time this
tract was a forest and this little settlement took its name from
that forest. It was a large tract of green wood, of waving trees
of oak, ash, maple and birch and many other varieties of wood.
Probably the forest from which Greenwood took its name included
the whole district from Stoneshay Gate to Widdop Gate and from
the right side of the highway down to the river Hebden in the
valley. The clearing in the forest was begun on the plateau
skirting the valley. Here Greenwood Lee was built. It is pos-
sible that the first houses were of wood and then after the forest
was somewhat cleared Greenwood Lee was constructed ; then fol-
lowed the construction of High Greenwood, the Clough house and
others. This settlement of Greenwood was one of the oldest in
Heptonstall and the Greenwoods of the settlement from ancient
times down to the present day have ever been prominent in shap-
ing the history of that old town. Turn over the pages of history
of old Heptonstall, either of its remote past or immediate present,
and the name Greenwood stands out prominent before you.
Whichever way you turn in Heptonstall you are confronted by
that name. The largest tax payers of Heptonstall have ever been
Greenwoods, while the recoixls of the ancient parish church of the
place and the old wills recorded at York show generous contribu-
tions by Greenwoods to the church and large bequests to public
charity.
Previous to the year 1154 very few people in England had
more than one name. Wyomarus was known only as Wyomarus.
Surnames were introduced into England by the Normans after
their invasion, in 1066, and many family names have originated
in England since that time. After Wyomarus had established his
home in the forest at Heptonstall, and a little settlement of his
descendants was made there, he became known as Wyomarus de
Greenwod (Wyomarus of Greenwood). The children and de-
scendants of Wyomarus also took similar names and were known
as Bartram de Greenwod (Bartram of Greenwood), Robert de
Greenwod (Robert of Greenwood) and so on, and the old public
records of Heptonstall show that it was nearly as late as the year
1500 when the surname Greenwood became full}' established and
the Latin word "de" was omitted. Greenwood is a place name.
The family takes its name from a locality and that locality the
green wood or forest at Heptonstall. It is evident that the man-
sion. Greenwood Lee, took the first part of its name from the
settlement Greenwood and the last part of its name (Lee) from
the fact that its location was sheltered or that the buildings af-
forded shelter to both men and beasts. Just the date Greenwood

Lee was built there are no records that show. In 1S62 Green-
wood Lee is mentioned in Heptonstall public records as being
occupied by Thomas de Grenwod. In 1379 Hegh Grenewod
(High Greenwood) is mentioned. There are no earlier public
records referring to these buildings.
Public records referring to the Greenwoods at Greenwood are
of much interest. From the earliest public court records we find
that on Nov. 22, 1274, one William Grenehod (Greenwood), was,
for taking bushwood from Erringden forest, fined 6 pence, and
according to the record a pledge was given by Luvecock, his
brother, that it would not occur again. In the following year, or
Friday, in whit-week, 1275, John del Greenwode (John of the
Greenwood) was fined in the court of the Lord of the Manor 2
shillings for the escape of 3 beasts to the meadows of Rawtonstall.
These records show that at that time there was a settlement in the
forest at Greenwood and that some of the land had been cleared,
fenced and cultivated. The court of the manor was held at Wake-
field by the Earl of Warren, or John de Warren, as his real name
was. The Earl had been given by King Henry III (1250) free
warren, or right to preserve the forests for game in Heptonstall,
Wadsworth, Rawtonstall, Stansfield and Langfield and he pun-
ished all intruders. He was Lord of the Manor of that district
and once when his right was questioned he unsheated his sword and
stretching out his arm declared that it was that weapon that gave
him his right.
In the year 1379 a poll tax was issued by King Richard II
upon all persons in England over the age of 16 years in every
parish or township. The tax list is of interest as showing who
was living at Greenwood at the time. The list follows :
Ricardus de Grenwod & vx. iiij d. (Richard of Greenwood
and wife 4 pence.)
Thomas de Grenewod & vx. iiij d. (Thomas of Greenwood and
wife 4 pence.)
Thomas de Grenewod & vx. iiij d. (Thomas of Greenwood and
wife 4 pence.)
Thomas de Grenewod iiij d. (Thomas of Greenwood, single.)
From the above list it would appear that 4 Greenwoods con-
stituted the inhabitants of Greenwood in 1379 — three of the
Greenwoods were married and their wives living and one single
person liable to a tax on account of age. One of these Green-
Woods was named Richard and three were named Thomas. Besides
these married Greenwoods there may have been children under the
age of 16. Each was taxed 4 pence and evidently the tax had no
bearing on the property each held.
The records of the Court of the Manor show a Richard de
Grenewod as a juryman in Oct., 1379, and in 1380 a Richard, son
18 Greenwood Genealogies
of Thomas dc Gronewod, whs a juryman at both April and October
Turns. At an inquisition held at Halifax, l'Kj5^, a Thomas de
Grenewod is named and described as the father of William and
was probably living at Greenwood Lee. A Tiioinas de Grenewod
was a juror of the Manor Court held 20th of October, 1413, and
was then living; at Hiffh Greenwood. His name was second on the
panel, a position he continued to occupy 1433 and 1434. Thomas
dc Grenewod, the single man on the poll list, may have been the
Thomas dc Grcnwod whose name ap])ears on a jury list 3d of Oct.,
1434, when he is last on the list of those empaneled at the local
Turn.
Public records show that soon after 1382 that the Monks of
Lewes, in Yorkshire, had some control over the estates at Green-
wood, and those adjoining, and drew revenue from them, the right
being given by the Earl of Warren.
In 1433 a John de Grenewod was living at Greenwood Lee and
was the wealthiest landlord in Heptonstall, for he was paying a
tax of 24s. 91/>d. annually in the way of rent, which was consid-
ered large as money was then valued.
On Dec. 16, 1439, the 18th year of the reign of King Henry
VI, a rental was made in Heptonstall by order of the Proctor of
the Priory of Lewes and from this rental it is learned that one
Thomas Michell (Mitchell) was then living at "Heghegrenewodde"
(High Greenwood) and paying rent to the Priory of Lewes of 6s.
2d. per year. The Mitchells had evidently married into the Green-
wood family. Formerly they occupied adjoining estates. They
are of Norman descent. John de Grenewodde of Grenewoddlee
(Greenwood Lee), the largest occupier in Heptonstall, paid an
annual rent for Greenwood Lee of 6s. T^^^d. ; for lands and tene-
ments called Gloghehous (Clough house), which is situated near
Greenwood Lee on the far side of Greenwood T^ce Clough, to the
left of the road, 15s.; for a close of land called "Gyllotraide,"
4d. ; land and tenement at "Robedshag" (Robert Shaw), near the
slack Baptist chapel, 17d. ; for other lands and tenements in Hep-
tonstall, not described by name, 17d.
Richard de Grenewode, probably son of John, the same year
was holding lands and tenements at Coldcn-Ing, for which he paid
yearly rent 20d. He also held one parcel of land called "Walker-
wyfynge," for which he paid 4l/.'d.
William de Grenewodde held lands and tenements in Learing,
in Heptonstall, for which he paid yearly rent 20d. He also rented
"Esthap More" (East-up-Moor) for which he paid 20d., and also
one acre of land taken from waste for which he paid 4d. per year.
He is probiibly the same William Greenwood who was constable of
Heptonstall in 1461. There was also a second Richard de Grene-
X
English History of the Family and Origin of Name 19
w'odde who held lands and tenements in Heptonstall township, for
which he paid 3s. Ql/ijd.
The rental list of 1439 shows that there were only 12 persons
in the township of Heptonstall at that time paying rent. The
combined rent of the 4 Greenwoods amounted to 34s. SV^d. The
combined rent of the other 8 persons was 22s. 8%d. The largest
tax payer was John de Grenewodde (John of Greenwood) ; second
largest in Heptonstall, John Pygehils (Pickles), who paid for
land and tenements in the town, 7s.
The old English public records show that very early the Green-
woods of Greenwood, in Heptonstall, began to scatter to the sur-
rounding districts, marrying and intermarrying there, accumu-
lating property and establishing homes. At one of the Turns of
the Court of the Manor one Roger Greenwood of Sowerby (6
miles from Greenwood), in 1326, was fined 3d. for his beasts
unlawfully eating from the herbage of the forest. The record
reads: "Rog'us de Grenwod, p. exh. best, iij d." In 1432 a lease,
which was in Latin, was made for 40 years of a certain property
called "Huldisworth Inge," in the township of Ovenden, near
Halifax, at 20s. per year, to William Greenwood of Mixenden, by
William Otes and others. In 1509 John Greenwood with Peter
Crabtree, two clothiers (manufacturers of cloth), acquired from
Richard Young and Margaret, his wife, what is know as Old Town
farm, in Wadsworth, and the adjoining one known as Crabtree
farm, in Wadsworth. In 1524 both these men paid a subsidy of
20s. each to King Henry VIII and in later years they were both
said to have been accused of using flocks in the manufacture of
cloth. On his death John Greenwood was succeeded in business
by his son William.
In 1563 William Greenwood, a merchant or chapman, of
Wadsworth, purchased from Wm. Brigg and Henry Brigg, his
son and heir apparent, land called Potter Cliff, at Old Town, in
Wadsworth, and about the same time he bought lands called
Hirst from Henry and Charles Farrer, in Old Town. He was
active in church matters for in the Heptonstall church registers,
da/ted Apr. 21, 1572, he signs an entry to the effect that 120 organ
pipes had been laid up in the church coffer.
Greenwood Lee, from the time of its construction, passed down
through an unbroken succession of generations of Greenwood
owners until 1642, when it passed out of Greenwood possession.
The last Greenwood occupant of the estate was Rev. Charles
Greenwood. He was rector of Thornhill, and through the influ-
ence that his own family had attained in the district as well as
his connection with Greenwood Lee, he became Lord of the Manor
20 Greenwood Genealogies
of Heptonstall.* He was son of James Greenwood of Sowerby, a
direct descendant of the Greenwoods of Greenwood Lee. His
mother was Cecilia, daughter of Chas. RadclifF, of Todmorden.
He left no living heirs. The will of the Rev. Charles Greenwood,
proved July 1-i, 164'2, provided for the establishment of a free
grammar school in Heptonstall, the buildings for which he had
erected, t He also bequeathed £100 to be lent and put forth from
year to year to ye poor people inhabiting within ye township of
Heptonstall to succeeding ages for ever, the better to enable them
to live by their labors in their honest vocations." He gave also
money for the founding of two fellowships and two scholarships in
University College, in Oxford, of which he had been fellow, and
1500 pounds more toward building of a new quadrangle at the
college, but the college was wronged of these bequests through the
misconduct of the executors.
In 1650 Greenwood Lee was twice sold. For a time it was in
possession of the family of Sutcliff. In 1760 it was purchased by
Abraham Gibson and at present it is occupied by Mrs. M. E.
Gibson, widow, and her son Abraham, who are direct heirs of the
Abraham first mentioned.
The last Greenwood occupant of High Greenwood was one
William Grenewod, whose will was proved at York Apr. 2, 1522,
and his descendants. In 1559 High Greenwood was purchased by
a Mr. Mitchell and it has remained in the Mitchell family ever
since, having been passed down from one generation to another.
Both Greenwood Lee and High Greenwood are today used as
farmsteads. Both estates join and both extend from the moors at
the summit of the hills to the valley below.
*It appears from a manuscript in the British Museum, No. 797 of the
Harleian mss., being a collection relating to Moreley Hundred, that John
Warren, Earl of Surrey, claimed free warren in Heptonstall bv charter dated
37th of King Henry III, A. D. 1253. The right of the manor passed into
other hands for by an inquisition taken at Pontefract 25th Aug., 5th and 6th
Philip and Mary, or A. D., 1558, that Sir Henry Savile, Knight, died siezed in
fee tail of the manor of Heptonstall and from him it passed by degrees to Sir
George Savile, of RuflFord. In the 5th King Charles, 1629, court was held at
Heptonstall by Charles Greenwood, Clerk, Rector of Thornhill, Lord of the
Manor of Heptonstall. Later the Right Honorable, the Earl of Scarborough,
became Lord of the Manor of Heptonstall.
One of the descendants of Charles Greenwood was cornet to Captain Gas-
coigne and another, Ferdinand Greenwood, was lieutenant of horse in the
service of King Charles the First, and was slain at Newark.
fThe .school building provided for by the will of Rev. Charles Greenwood is
yet in use and stands close by the old churchyard in Heptonstall. The school
house was given as a free gift to the people of Heptonstall and land and prop-
erty at Colden, in Heptonstall, was endowed for the perpetual care of the
building and continual salary of the master of the school. The executors of
tlie will consisted of John Greenwood, son of Robert Greenwood, John Green-
wood of Elfaburgh Hall, William Mitchell, Thomas Greenwood of Learing
and Richard Robertshaw and their heirs.

Sir William I)ii}iclale"s N'isitation of Yorksliire gives the date IISO. when
irKinliers of the family first settled here and a Charles Greenwood was li\in<j
here as late as iSKI. A i)ietiire, or color ])rint, is yet haniiinji' on a \\all in

and Kirkstall Ahhey, which is a short distance away. In excavating for rc])airs
of the house building stones were found resembling those of the Abbey, built
11.57. Some stone lions, evidently used as torch holders are on the premises
and ha\e been placed around the foot of an oak tree, yet living, estimated to
be TOO or SOO years t)ld. The house has been rebuilt and is changed from its
original ai)])carancc. It is now occupied by Mr. J. U. Cross.
English History of the Family and Origin of Name 21
The building's now at Greenwood Lee consist of a large two
story stone house, about 30 x 40 feet in size, with a long ell 60 x 30
feet, also two stories. The house has five gables ; roofs covered
with slate or thin stone and the house is especially noticeable for
the large number of chimney tops and stone balls above the roof.
Back of the main house is a second stone house 40 x 40 feet in size,
two stories high, with a gable, slated or stone roof. There is a
large stone barn on the premises unique for its architecture. It is
only one story high and has a high pointed roof. It is 100 feet
long and 60 feet wide. In a stone over the porch of the large house
is cut the figures 1712. This porch was rebuilt that year by the
SutclifFes. Otherwise the exteriors of all the buildings are as they
were originally made except new glass windows and chimney pots.
The estimated age of the present buildings at Greenwood Lee is
500 years. Probably the present structures were built about the
year 1400 and are an enlargement of the original or first buildings
bearing the same name. High Greenwood when rebuilt is believed
to have been standing since the year 1260.
According to Tappan's history of England, as late as 1500
the poor people in the country lived in cottages made of sticks
and clay. There were no real chimneys, but only a hole for the
smoke to go out. With Greenwood Lee, High Greenwood and the
Clough house, large buildings of stone, the Greenwoods of Green-
wood may be regarded as wealthy people for their time.
Ralph Thoresby in his history of Leeds, Eng., and the West
Outriding of Yorkshire, published 1715, and Whitaker in an edi-
tion of Leeds, published 1816, both refer to a place known as New
Laithes as famous for its long Greenwood occupancy. Thoresby
says of New Laithes : "Here for many years resided the very
ancient family of Greenwood descended from Wyomarus, who
flourished ano. 1154, cater to Mawd the Empress." This New^
Laithes is the small village 5 miles north-west of Leeds, near the
river Aire in the township of Newiay. New Laithes hall, or manor
house, is yet standing, but no Greenwoods or their descendants are
now living there. New Laithes hall came into possession of the
Greenwoods as early as 1180 and was occupied by a Charles
Greenwood as late as 1816. On Apr. 13, 1670, the estate was
sold by a James Greenwood to Thomas Lord Viscount Savile, Earl
of Sussex, but the estate was repurchased by a Joseph Greenwood,
who died there in 1728.
The Empress Maud, with whose household Wyomarus de
Greenwod was connected was daughter of King Henry I, the third
of the Norman kings to rule England. While still a child she
married the Emperor of Germany ; that person dying she was mar-
ried to Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, a Frenchman. Her mother was
22 Greenwood Genealogies
known as "Good Mjiud," daughter of the King of Scotland, By
Geoffrey slie had a son who became King Henry II of Enghind.
The early English records which appear in this volume have
been passed down from one generation of Greenwoods to the next
succeeding. In the year 1700 the records were in the keeping of
James Greenwood of York; in 1815, they were in the hands of
Joseph Greenwood Clayton, of New Laithes. (See Whitaker's
History of Leeds.) The records are in two parts. The first part
is upon parchment. The second part is in the autograph of Sir
William Dugdale. By these records every descendant of Thomas
Greenwood of Newton, Mass., can trace an unbroken line of an-
cestry extending over a period of 700 years and through many
generations. The line of descent in the English records from
Thomas of Newton runs through John Greenwood, the priest, who
was great grandparent of Thomas.
The old church at Heptonstall (Thomas a' Becket), at which
all Greenwoods of the ])arish worshipped, was built as early as
1260, but is now in ruins. It was disused in 1854<. An effort is
being made to perpetually preserve the now standing walls of the
old stone structure and contributions for this purj^ose are solicited
from all interested persons. The Vicar of the Heptonstall Parish
Society, Heptonstall, Eng., receives subscriptions. The reg-
isters of the old church run back only to 1593. The first
Greenwood interment entries arc: March 20, 1593, twin children
of William Grenwod, Wardsworth ; March, 1594, infant of Rich-
ard Grenwod, of Ayringden ; Apr. 10, 1594, John, son of John
Grenwod, of Stansfield; June 7, 1594, wife of Ric. Grenwod of
Lang; June 11, 1594, infant of Simion Grenwod.
No Greenwood marriages were recorded in 1593, but in 1594
there are two: May 5, Matthew Grenwod and Jane Buckley and
Richard Grenwood and Agnes Grenwood. In 1599 these baptisms
appear, the first in the registers: July 15, Grace, dau. of John
Greenwood of Wadd. ; 22d, Doriti, dau. of William Greenwood ;
22d, Grace, dau. of Thomas Greenwood; Aug. 12, John, son of
Simion Grenwod of Wad.
A John Grenewode was clerk (in Holy orders) of the Hepton-
stall Church in 1439, a Sir John Grcnwodde, curate, in 1531, and
Thomas Greenwood, of Elpiiaborough Hall, officiated 1712-1744.
He died 1748. A gallery at the west end of the north nave of this
church was called High Greenwood loft, but when erected is not
known.
In the gallery of the tower of the new church of the Hepton-
stall parish society at Heptonstall, is a marble tablet placed in
memory of a John Greenwood, whose death occurred June 16,
1823, aged 81, in recognition of his gift to charity. Names of

the wives by his three marriages and those of his children are also
given.
A John Greenwood, of Cottingly, as shown by a deed dated
Feb. 20, 1598, left the sum of £40 to be lent from year to year
for ever, to the poor of Heptonstall parish and £20 to the poor
of Bradford-dale. Paul Greenwood of Old Town, Wadsworth,
left 20 shilling a year for the poor people of Wadsworth and 20
shillings a year for the minister at Heptonstall.
John Greenwood, of the Learings, in Heptonstall, by his will
dated Feb. 10, 1687, left an annuity of 20s. for the minister of
Heptonstall Church and one of 20s. for the purpose of apprentic-
ing a poor man's child.
John Greenwood, of the Hippings, in Stansfield, by will dated
Dec. 13, 1705, left 20s. yearly forever to the minister at Hepton-
stall for the preaching of a sermon the first Wednesday in August
yearly.
Referring to the number of Greenwoods now living in Hepton-
stall vicinity a public writer says : "In the Calderdale district,
from Halifax to Todmorden, the number of Greenwoods is posi-
tively amazing. One cannot take up a newspaper, or attend some
public or social function, or visit the homes of the people, but the
name of Greenwood stands out in numbers almost like the stars in
the firmament ; and when one remembers that all these came from
that original stock found at Greenwood, in Heptonstall, some cen-
turies ago the thought cannot fail to be brimful of significance."
ANCIENT GREENWOOD WILLS
The very earliest Greenwood wills recorded at York, Eng., are
the following, which are interesting as showing the great variety
in the spelling of the name, and they also throw light upon the
method of living in those early years. The number of persons
bearing the Christian names of John, James, William and Thomas
in the Greenwood family is remarkable. "Sir"* in these wills de-
notes a clergyman. The recording of wills at York began in 1389.

father, James Greenwood. John Greenwood, of Golden, was an-
other relative, also Thomas Greenwood, of Learing. He places
his inward and outward debts in the hands of John Greenwood, of

royd, for he leaves to Alice SutclifFe one best cow and to her sister,
Grace, two cows, and in addition £6. 10s. 2d. the value of a debt

know that people looked upon these things as being of great value.

*"Nambrey" was probably a book of names or family register of births,
marriages and deaths. The spelUng of our forefathers was peculiar as com-
pared with present day methods. "Nam," the first syllable of the word, may
have come from the Anglo-Saxon word Noma, meaning name. "Brey" may
have been taken from the Anglo-Saxon word Braco, signifying breath, vapor,
fragrance or odor. With this attachment nambrey would appear to be a
book of names with fragrant odors.
EXECUTION OF JOHN GREENWOOD
It will be of interest to every Greenwood to learn of the execu-
tion in England of John Greenwood as a Puritan. He was a
oraduate of Cambridge University in England, a clergyman in
the Established Ciiurch, and the very first to separate from that
cliurch and found the religious doctrine known as Puritanism or
Congregationalism. He labored for simplicity of religious forms.
Seven years he suffered the privations of close prison confinement
and finally on the sixth of April, 1593, with his co-worker, Henry
Barrowe, was taken from jail and hanged. That little band of
Pilgrims that landed at Plymouth, Mass., in 1620, were his fol-
lowers— they had worshipped at the church he founded — that band
of Puritans that landed in America and founded Boston were be-
lievers in the doctrine he was first to teach. The religious teach-
ings of John Greenwood rapidly spread in England and in 1640
occurred the civil war in which the Puritans under Oliver Cromwell
as leader overthrew the English church and government and es-
tablished in England the right of the Puritans to existence in
that country. Persecution of the Puritans ceased for a time in
England after Cromwell established himself as ruler of that coun-
try. But that little band of Pilgrims at Plymouth, that band of
Puritans at Boston, those followers who wended their way to Vir-
ginia and Maryland — they brought to America the teachings of
John Greenwood — the separation of church and state — and if
America owes its greatness, its progress, and its achievements to
one principle in government more than another it is that in
America every American can kneel at the altar of his own faith,
and worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience.
The state in America is separated from the church. American
government tolerates no single form of religious worship but shel-
ters and protects alike all. John Greenwood taught that there
could be but one head to the church and that head was not the
Queen but Christ, and that there could be no law for the govern-
ment of the church other than what the Scriptures contained.
The execution of John Greenwood was in the reign of Queen Eliza-
beth.
John Greenwood, b. 15.56, entered Corpus Christie (or Benct)
College, Cambridge, Mar. 18, 1577-8, a thcalogical student, I'e-
ceivcd his Bachelor's degree 1580-1, was ordained deacon of the
English Established Church by the Bishop of London and priest
30
Execution of John Greenwood 31
by the Bishop of Lincoln, and for 5 years labored in the English
Church, in Norfolk County. What led to a change in his religious
belief is unknown but he was deprived of his benefice and began
holding secret religious services at the home of Lord Robert Rich,
of Rockford, Essex County, who was interested in his doctrine.
Soon Lord Rich and a clergyman named Robert Wright, who was
associated with John Greenwood, Avere arrested and thrown into
prison. Mr. Greenwood then went to London where he formed a
secret congregation at the house of one Henry Martin at St.
Andrews. Here, early in October, 1586, he was arrested and
lodged in the Clink prison while conducting a service.
There had preceded Greenwood at Cambridge by a little more
than 10 years a man of marked ability, by name of Henry Bar-
rowe, third son of Thomas Barrowe, Esq., of Shipdam, Norfolk,
by his second wife, Mary. He entered Cambridge Nov. 22, 1565,
receiving his degree of Bachelor of Arts 1569-70, became a lawyer
and practiced in Her Majesty's courts. He had become interested
in the religious teachings of John Greenwood, and hearing of
Greenwood's arrest he visited Greenwood on Sunday, Nov. 19,
1586, between 9 and 10 o'clock, at the Clink. Here with no pre-
tense of legal warrant Barrowe was arrested and locked in with
Greenwood. A few days later both Greenwood and Barrowe were
removed to the Fleet prison, where their quarters were close, and
deprived of proper food, sufficient warmth and many necessities of
life they were kept in confinement for 7 years. Many times during
their imprisonment Greenwood and Barrowe were taken before the
authorities of the English Church and questioned as to their re-
ligious belief. Such an examination of Greenwood took place first
at the palace (1586) before the Bishop of London. Asked by the
Bishop if he believed in baptism. Greenwood replied that he did.
Asked if he did not have a son unbaptized. Greenwood replied that
his son Abel, II/2 years old, was unbaptized, but that he had been
in prison and was unable to take his son to a reformed church
where he could be baptized according to God's oi'dinance. Asked
if he did not consider the English Church a church of God replied,
"No." Mr. Greenwood told the Bishop that every congregation
of Christ should be governed by a pastor, teacher and elder and
by no other than that Christ appoints. He would excommunicate
the Prince (Queen) as well as all members of the church who dis-
obeyed the teachings of the word of God. He would make no ex-
ception of the Prince. "The Scriptures set down sufficient laws
for the worship of God and government of church which no man
may add to or diminish. Her Majesty is not the supreme head
of the church."
Barrowe's first examination was on the afternoon of his arrest
before the Archbishop, Archdeacon and Doctor Cosin. He pro-
32 Greenwood Genealogies
tested stoutly against his arrest without a warrant but to no effect.
An effort was made to bind Barrowe by an oath to attend the
Estabh'shcd Church, but he refused to take the oath. Eight days
afterwards, 527 November, Barrowe was taken to Lambert before a
synod of bishops and a dean, when a long sheet of accusations was
read against him. He admitted that much of the matter was true
but not all, and demanded that witnesses against him should be
sworn, whereupon Whitgift (head of Corpus Christie College),
losing his temper, burst out "Where is his keeper? You shall
not prattle here. Away with him. Clap him up close. Let no
man go to him. I will make him tell another tale yer I have done
with him."
On the 9th of March, 1589, Archdeacon Hutchinson visited
Mr. Greenwood at the Fleet, saying he had come by virtue of a
commission from Her Majesty to confer. Mr. Greenwood de-
clined to have anything to say until he could have pen and ink
and a fellow prisoner as a witness of the conversation, on the
ground that he had been wickedly slandered and his cause falsely
reported by the bishops and especially by one Dr. Some. The
pen, ink and witness being granted, the archdeacon read some
questions, mainly as to whether a church made up of members
who were called together by the blowing of Her Majesty's
trumpet, received into the church without conversion and repent-
ance and consisting of all sorts of profane people could be consid-
ered a true church of Christ. Very little progress was made at
the interview and when the archdeacon went awa\^ he insisted on
carrying with him all the notes that had been taken of what passed.
He was prevailed upon to leave them in the hands of Mr. Calthop,
the witness, but Mr. Greenwood says : "No sooner was I gone and
locked up than the wardens were sent to the gentleman for the
papers, who, declining to deliver them without our consent, the
archbishop's servant came and took them away."
Eight days after this. Mar. 17, 1589, the archdeacon came to
see Mr. Greenwood again, bringing a witness of his own and hav-
ing the doors locked upon them with no other person present
except the two turnkeys of the jail, one of whom acted as scribe.
On this occasion the argument was mainly upon the question
whether John the Baptist received to his baptism those Phari-
sees and Sadducees whom he called generations of vipers, the arch-
deacon insisting that he did and Mr. Greenwood contending that
while the vipers may have been present they took no part in the
baptism, except as onlookers.
In one interview the archdeacon had with Mr. Barrowe, the
latter complained of his many years of illegal imprisonment and
close confinement and was told by the archdeacon that "You
should be most happy, for the solitary and contemplative I hold
Execution of John Greenwood 33
the most blessed life ; it's the life I would choose." Mr. Barrowe
meekly replied : "Could you be content, Mr. Andrews, to be kept
from exercise and air for so long a time, matters so necessray to
a natural body?" "I say not," was the answer, "that I would
want air."
In an interview, Apr. 13, 1589, between Greenwood and Bar-
rowe and clergymen of the English church, the prisoners state,
"Things were disorderly handled and there were manifold cavils
and shifts, shameless denials of manifest truths, and most un-
christian contumelies, scoffs and reproaches against our persons."
It ended with Greenwood and Barrowe being required to set down
in brief the reasons why they persisted in refusing to return to
the Church of England, which they did in these words :
That the people of the church, as they stand, are not orderly
to the faith, but stand mingled together in confusion.
The ministry set over the people is not the true ministry of the
gospel which Christ has appointed.
The administrations and worship of the church are not ac-
cording to the word of God.
The ecclesiastical government, officers and canons are not ac-
cording to the testament of Christ and are anti-christian and
popish.
That the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper as ad-
ministered in the Established Church are not true sacraments.
That infants ought not be baptized according to the form of
baptism now in the Church of England.
That it is not lawful to use the Lord's prayer publicly in the
church for a set form of prayer.
That all set and stinted prayers are merely babblings in the
sight of the Lord and not to be used in public Christian assemblies.
That the public prayers and worship of God in England as it
is done in the Established Church is false, superstitious, popish
and not to be used in any Christian congregation.
While in prison both Greenwood and Barrowe wrote several
books which were produced under difficulties that would have
crushed the spirit of men of weaker fibre and inferior courage.
Denied proper writing material they used such scraps of paper
and bits of material as was secretly brought to them by friends
from the outside. When one piece of paper was written over it
was taken away and another piece as secretly furnished. These
pieces of paper were taken to Holland where the writing was put
into print and the books published. The Holland printers had to
make what they could of the writing, but on the whole they did
their work fairly well. These books treated of the religious belief
of Greenwood and Barrowe and contained the interviews between
them and the English Church officers, and although 300 years
34) Greenwood Genealogies
have passed since their publication, some of these books are yet
found.
In the autumn of 1592, for some reason not apparent, there
was a rehixation of the rigor with which Greenwood was treated
and he was allowed to leave the Fleet, either on bail or on his per-
sonal promise to appear when required, and he went to live with
Roger Rippon, in Southwalk. Barrowe remained in jail. Rip-
pon's house was one of those at which the members of a secret
church, formed by Mr. Greenwood four or five years before had
held its meetings. Mr. Greenwood, now that he was out of prison,
met with these people, and was appointed their doctor or teacher,
but the bishops were alarmed by what they heard of the spread of
Separatism and on Dec. 5, 1892, Mr. Greenwood was again ar-
rested and committed again to the Fleet with Barrowe. This time
he was arrested at the home of Edward Boyse on Ludgate Hill.
On March 23, 1593, Greenwood and Barrowe were brought to
trial at the Old Bailey in London. They were charged with pub-
lishing and dispensing seditious books ; the proofs of the charge
were found in the writings which they had published while in
prison. Their sedition consisted in denying Her Majesty's eccle-
siastical supremacy and attacking the existing ecclesiastical or-
der. On the 3d, 11th and 20th of March Barrowe had been cited
before Chief Justice Sir John Popham and Attorney General Lord
Ellesmere and examined as to his opinions and his authorship of
certain books. Barrowe avowed his convictions of the truth of his
treatises and among other things expressed his opinion that the
established government of the Church of England was unlawful
and anti-christian.
Greenwood had been examined on the 11th and 20th and con-
fessed to his authorship of the books laid to his charge. Robert
Bowie and Robert Stokes examined and testified on the 19th as to
the way the books of Greenwood and Barrowe had been printed.
Daniel Studley and James Forster testified to the printing also of
the books. The latter, who described himself as a physician and
master of arts, confessed having written some part of the Green-
wood's and Barrowe's book entitled "A Brief Description of the
False Church."
The answers of Greenwood and Barrowe at the trial was a gen-
eral denial of the charges brought against them but they were
found guilty and sentenced to be hanged.
The next morning, March 24, 1593, preparations were made
for their execution but they were reprieved. Certain doctors and
deans were then sent to the prisoners to confer with them but the
prisoners claimed an open or public discussion, which was refused
them. On the 31st of March the prisoners were conveyed to the
1112993
Execution of John Greenwood 35
place of execution very early and secretly, where being tied by
the neck to the tree, were permitted to speak a few words. They
declared their innocence of all malice or ill intent and exhorted the
people to obey and love the Queen and magistrates but to follow
their leaders no further than they followed Scripture. They were
then in the act of pra3^ing for the Queen when they were again re-
prieved. This time as the result of a supplication to the Lord
Treasurer that "in a land where no Papist was put to death for
religion, theirs should not be the first blood shed who disagreed
about faith with what was professed in the country," and desired
conference to be convinced of their error. But only six dsLjs was
gained by this clemency.
The law that Greenwood and Barrowe were convicted under
did not well apply in their case and the prelates having introduced
a bill into Parliament that would apply were much alarmed when
the bill came down to the Commons with its modifications and lest
the prisoners should escape execution they were secretly and
early on the morning of Apr. 6, 1593, taken to Tyburn and there
hanged without ceremony.
After the death of Greenwood and Barrowe, Parliament of
England enacted a law "To Retain the Queen Majesty's subjects
in Their Due Obedience" which read: "That if any person over
16 years of age shall be absent from church for a month, or by
writing, printing or speech shall attempt to persuade any of her
Majesty's subjects to deny the Queen's ecclesiastical supremacy
or shall attempt to persuade them from coming to church or shall
be present at any unlawful meeting for religious worship they
shall be committed to prison without bail until they conform and
make submission. If for 3 months they refuse to conform they
are to be banished from the realm. If they fail to leave the coun-
try or return without license they are to be hanged as felons."
Immediately after the passage of this act most of the Separ-
atist prisoners were released from jail and several hundred of them
streamed to Holland. Among the first that fled were the members
of the secret church in London of which John Greenwood had been
pastor. The}' crossed the sea in separate companies as they were
able and within three or four years most of them had settled in
Amsterdam. At one time 56 members of John Greenwood's secret
church, while holding a service among the sand hills at Islington,
were surprised and arrested. They were "committed without
neither meat, drink, fry or lodgings, nor were their friends al-
lowed to have access to them ; husbands and wives were purposely
put into different prisons ; some had not a penny about them, so
that not only they but their poor families were in wretched cause.
All was contrary to law etiquette and conscience."
36 Greenwood Genealogies
On May 22, 1593, John Penry, a graduate of Cambridge Uni-
versity and a member of John Greenwood's secret congregation,
was hanged at St. Thomas Waterings in London. Gov. Bradford,
in his "Dialogue," gives these additional names of Puritans who
were publicly executed — William Dennis at Thetford, Norfolk,
and John and Elias Coppin at Bury St. Edmunds. A great many
Puritans who were committed to jail died in prison. Some were
horse whipped, some branded with hot irons and some kept in
chains.
John Greenwood's definition of a church was : A company of
faithful people separated from the unbelievers and heathen of the
land, gathered in the name of Christ, whom they truly worship
and readily obey as their only king, priest and prophet, joined
together as members of one body, ordered and governed by such
officers and laws as Christ in his will and testament hath hereunto
obeyed.
It is interesting to notice how John Greenwood and members
of the church he founded struck upon some of the simple forms of
religious observance that have remained characteristic of the
Congregational Church to this day: One Daniel Buck, a writing
master, deposed 9 March, 1593, that when he joined the com-
pany "he made ye protestation that he would walk with the rest
and yt so long as they did walk in the way of the Lorde and as
farr as might be warranted by the word of God; that Greenwood
took water and washed the faces of them that were baptised saying
onely in ye administration of the sacrament 'I do baptise the in ye
name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Ghost and with-
out Godfather and Godmother'; and that at the Lord's supper
five white loaves or more were sett upon ye table and that the
pastor did break ye bread and then deliver it unto some of them
and the deacons delivered to the rest, some of sd congregation
sitting and some standing about the table and that the pastor
delivered the cup unto one and he unto another till they had all
drank using the words at ye delivery thereof according as is set
down in the eleventh of Cor. ye 24 verse."
Henry Barrowe was unmarried and a man of some property,
which he willed to the Puritan Church at his death. His money
paid for the printing of the religious works he and Mr. Green-
wood wrote in prison.
The execution of John Greenwood at Tyborn is recorded on
the records of Corpus Christie College, Cambridge, Eng., and the
offence is given as "writing against the Book of Common Prayer."
After the imprisonment of John Greenwood, one Francis
Johnson became pastor of the Greenwood church in London and
when the members fled to Holland he became pastor of the Am-
sterdam Puritan Church.
Execution of John Greenwood 37
The Rev. John Greenwood was son of James Greenwood by his
second wife, Elizabeth, dau, of Edward Mawde. His grandfather,
Thomas Greenwood, m. Margaret, dau. of Thomas Draper of
Brodelsthom. Rev. John Greenwood m. and his only child was
Abel, b. 1585, who was grandfather of Thomas Greenwood, who
settled in Newton, Mass., 1665.
GREENWOODS IN HOLLAND
The famous little vessel, Mayflower, which landed its cargo of
102 Pilgrims from Holland at Plymouth, Mass., in Dec, 1620,
had no person b^' name of Greenwood on board, yet the State rec-
ords in the archives of Leyden, Amsterdam and Rotterdam show
the presence of Greenwoods among the Puritans who had separ-
ated from the established church and fled from England to Hol-
land to escape persecution. The exodus of these religious people
from England begun immediately following the execution of Rev.
John Greenwood at Tyburn, in 1593, and was continued to 1612 or
later. From the Amsterdam records we learn of a William Green-
wood, from Norwich, whose betrothal to Rachel Pettes is recorded
on Nov. 24, 1617, Sam. Singleton and Robt. and Margaret Hop-
kins being witnesses. No record of marriage is found.
The Leyden records tell of a John Greenwood, from London,
who matriculated in philosophy at Leyden University July 9,
1625, aged 20. He was then living in the family of John Keble,
from Canterbury, a wool comber. The records show his betrothal
to Bridget Robinson May 10, 1629, with witnesses Sam. Lee, a
hat maker, Thomas Nash, Eliz. Nash and Bridget Robinson,
mother of the bride. The marriage occurred May 26, 1629. The
marriage record says he "is a young man from the Brownists'
camp." As the Puritans in Holland were called Brownists the
locality where they lived may have been known as Brownists'
Camp. This John Greenwood matriculated in theology at Leyden
University May 22, 1634, aged 28, and was then yet living with
John Keble. Bridget Robinson, whom John Greenwood m., was
daughter and second child of Rev. John Robinson, })astor of the
Puritan church in Leyden. This church, a prosperous body of
English refugees, numbered 300 members. The name Brigdet was
formerly common among English women. Even Oliver Cromwell,
the Puritan leader of England, begun his letters to his wife with
"Dear Biddie." The Leyden records show Bridget Robinson
Greenwood to have m. 2d, William Lee, of Amsterdam, July 25,
1637. The national council of American Congregational Churches
have a tablet erected in Leyden to the memory of Rev. John Robin-
son, the father of Bridget, and of the Pilgrims who came to Amer-
ica in 1620, nearly all were from Rev. John Robinson's church.
There were two Puritan churches in Amsterdam at same time.
The Leyden records disclose also the marriage of Lacharian
38
Geeenwoods in Holland 39
Greenwood, Sept., 1647, to Jannetie Bruynal, a girl from Col-
chester. A son was b. to this couple Apr. 3, 1657. Mr. Green-
wood had some difficulty with the magistrates about this, a second
marriage.
Amsterdam records show the death of Anna Greenwood Jan.,
1636, as wife of Paul Diers de Ras. Her first husband was a Mr.
Schas.
Rotterdam records show the baptism of Thomas Groenewont
(Greenwood) Dec. 31, 1647. His marriage is recorded as having
occurred in 1676.
From Rotterdam records it appears that Francis Greenwood,
an Englishman and merchant, was m. 1671. His family consisted
of a wife and two daughters.

FIRST GREENWOODS IN AMERICA
The first person by name of Greenwood to settle in America,
so far as obtainable records show, was John Greenwood. English
shipping lists show him to have been 16 years old; that he sailed
from the port of London, Jan., 1634, on the ship Bonaventure,
James Ricrofte, master. He settled in Virginia and has descend-
ants who are mentioned in this work.
The earliest Greenwood to settle in New England was Na-
thaniel. He was from Norwich, Eng., and was a son of Miles
Greenwood, a worsted weaver of Norwich, where he was baptized
at the chapel of St. Michael-at-Pleas, Aug. 23, 1631. He came
to this country as early as 1654, then 23 years of age, and on
Jan. 24, 1655, at Weymouth, Mass., m. Mary, the daughter of
Samuel Allen of Braintree, Mass. He engaged in ship building in
Boston, Mass., and for 30 years successfully pursued that occu-
pation, his death occurring, as appears from his tombstone now
standing in Copp's Hill Cemetery, Boston, July 31, 1684, aged
53. He left a widow and three children and considerable property.
On Nov. 3, 1659, as appears from Dorchester, Mass., early
records, one Alice Greenwood was m. to Robert Portis (probably
Porteous), the ceremony being performed by Major Humphrey
Atherton, a magistrate of Dorchester. Court records show this
Robert to have been a witness to the will, signed Nov. 27, 1645, of
one Lawrence Buckminister, a seaman, about sailing on a
voyage. Robert was a Scotch tobacconist and first Treas-
urer of the Scots' Charitable Society, Boston, Mass., organized
6 Jan., 1657. He died a widower. Alice was probably
a sister of Thomas Greenwood of Newton and daughter
of Thomas Greenwood of Heptonstall, Eng. Whether she
came to this country with friends or her father is a matter of con-
jecture. If her father was ever in New England he left no record.
A will of a Robert Porteous, dated Boston June 22, 1681, proved
July 28, 1681 (Suffolk county, Mass., deeds), bequeaths his soul
to God, his body to earth, his bones to rottenness and says that he
shall be raised up again the last day and with these eyes behold his
Saviour. He gives 10 pounds to Daniel Brewer and 5 pounds to
Nathaniel Brewer, both of whom he calls brother and dear friend,
and remainder of his estate he gives to Hannah, his daughter, and
her husband, John Weld. Evidently he had but one child and as
Alice was not mentioned she may have died before the will was
43
44 Greenwood Genealogies
made. Hannah Porteous, Roxburj, Mass., records show, ni. Jan.
22, 1678, John Weld, a glazier, of Roxbury, b. June 26, 1653,
son of John and Margaret (Bowen) Weld and grandson of Cap-
tain Josepli Weld, Avho came to America in 1635. Their children
were: Hannah (Weld), b. Dec. 14, 1681, d. Oct. 6, 1683; John
(Welb), b. Oct. 7, 1683; Joanna (Weld), b. Sept. 15, 1685, m.
Samuel Lyon; Abigail (Weld), b. Aug. 19, 1687; Elizabeth
(Weld), b. June 20, 1692; Sarah (Weld), b. Nov. 17, 1693, d.
Jan. 16, 1708; Dorothy (Weld), b. June 21, 1695, m. William
Dennison ; Samuel (Weld), b. May 18, 1697.
About 1665 there appeared in Boston, Mass., one Thomas
Greenwood, aged 22, and one Samuel Greenwood, aged 21. Sam-
uel Greenwood was brother of Nathaniel, above mentioned, and son
of Miles of Norwich, Eng. He remained in Boston and engaged
in shipbuilding ; was a public spirited man, often holding office in
the gift of the town's people, and at his death, Aug., 1711, left a
large property in Boston which was divided among his widow and
four children.
Thomas Greenwood was by occupation a weaver. He remained
in Boston a short time, then removed to Weymouth, Mass., and
finally settled in Cambridge Village, now Newton, Mass., a short
distance from Boston. He was son of Thomas Greenwood of Hep-
tonstall, Eng., and possibly brother of Alice, above mentioned.
He was baptized at Heptonstall (Eng.) Parish Church June 4,
1643. His grandfather was Abel Greenwood, who was son of Rev.
John Greenwood, the Puritan separatist who suffered death for
his religious convictions at Tyburn, Eng., Apr. 6, 1593. Thomas
Greenwood was an educated, intelligent man whose judgment was
often sought by his neighbors and held town office. At his death,
Sept. 1, 1693, he left an estate to a second wife and four children.
Aside from the four Greenwoods last mentioned there are no
records of other Greenwoods permanently settling in New England
for nearly 100 years, or until 1760. The will of Nathaniel Green-
wood (Suffolk County, Mass., records) mentions his cousin Benja-
mine who is to have £5 when "his time is out," but no record being
found of this Ben j amine he evidently returned to England after
serving his apprenticeship. Of the Greenwoods now in America
full 65 per cent are descendents of Thomas of Newton, 5 per cent
descendants of Nathaniel and Samuel, and 30 per cent descendants
of John of Virginia, or are later arrivals.
Early English shipping lists contain these items: Robert
Greenwood, age 18, sailed Nov. 20, 1635, port of London to Bar-
badoes, ship. Expedition, Peter Blackler, master ; was examined
as to his conformity to the discij)line of the church of England.
Thomas Greenwood, aged 15, sailed Apr. 3. 1635. Gravesend
First Greenwoods in America 45
to St. Christopher, ship, Paul of London, J. Acklin, master. The
minister of St. Katherins certified that "he had been examined as
to his conformity to the discipline and orders of ye church of
England and he did take ye oath of allegiance."
John Greenwood, aged 26, sailed Jan. 6, 1634, to St. Christo-
pher and the Barbadoes after taking ye oath of allegiance. Rec-
ords of the parish of St. Michaels, Barbadoes, show the death of
a John Greenwood in 1679.
IN GENERAL
BOOKS OF INTEREST
Two books of exceedinfy interest are in the hands of Francis
A. Thayer, 38 Park Row, New York City. Both are of old print
and have come down from the sons of Thomas^ Greenwood to the
jn-esent generation. One of these books is entitled, "Commen-
taries on the Lamentations of Jeremiah," London, 1602, in which
is written the autograph avowedly of "Rev. Thomas Greenwood,
his book, 1714." and under "John Greenwood, 1720" and on
another fly leaf — "Jno Greenwood's ex Doro patris" without date.
The autographs are in a handsome hand. There is also written:
"Noah Greenwood, 1786."
Another book, "The Sermons of Christian Religion Delivered
by Zacharias," has written on the fly leaf: "Abiah Carpenter, his
book the 25th April 1659." "Jno Greenwood, his book, bought of
Capt Butterworth, Jan'y 8, 1724." (Same fine hand as the other
book.) "Oliver Greenwood, his book, January 1783." (In an un-
cultured hand.)
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
The Rev. Thomas- Greenwood made this entry on one of his
parish registers at Rehoboth, Mass. :
"My hon"^ father Dyed (Friday) Sep"" 1st, 1693, In y^ even-
ing."
In March, 1770, there was a tide waiter named Thos. Green-
wood, in Boston, who fired on the populace from a Custom House
window at the time of the Bloody Massacre. He was accused of
having killed Crispus Attucks, but the jury decided that soldiers
of the 29th Regiment were the guilty parties. It is not learned
that this Thomas was a New England resident.
There are 33 towns in the United States and Canada bearing
the name of Greenwood. They derived their names from the wood-
land or forest that were prominent where the places are located.
The word Boisvert, which means greenwood {bois — wood, vert
— green) is in very common use in France as a surname and where-
ever the French language is spoken.
Among the Germans there is a word written Gruenwald, which
is used as a surname and the word has the same significance as the
family name Greenwood.

It is remarkable with the Greenwood family how the Christian
names James, John, Thomas and William were maintained and
have been passed down from one generation to another. The
Greenwood wills recorded at York are alive with these names,
while the church registers at Heptonstall and a[\ other public
documents are so full that positive identification of individuals
bearing these names is difficult. Even Thomas Greenwood, who
settled at Newton, Mass., 1665, gave his own four sons these same
names. In the parish church registers at Heptonstall, in the list
of marriages, we find, July 15, 1641, a Thomas Greenwood married
Sarah Crossle^" ; Oct. 15, 1641, a Thomas Greenwood married
Ellen Wood and then Apr. 30, 1642, a Thomas Greenwood mar-
ried Sarah SutclifFe. Here is a further illustration of the fre-
quency- of that one name Thomas : In 1700, in the Wragby parish
register, a Thomas Greenwood is mentioned as curate. In 1703
a Thomas Greenwood was curate of LightclifFe ; 1706 a Thomas
Greenwood was curate of Luddenden ; 1712 a Thomas Greenwood,
A.B., was curate of Heptonstall and held that position until
1744. In 1711 a Thomas Greenwood was pastor of the Baptist
Church at Rodhill End, in Heptonstall. The latter was a man of
some means and in 1737 gave the use of a building he had pur-
chased to the church society. Among the trustees of this church
was a John Greenwood of Hawksclough in Sowerby, yeoman, and
William Greenwood, of Stone Slack, in Heptonstall. This Thomas
Greenwood died 1742.
THE GRAVE OF THOINIAS GREENWOOD
Tlio licadstone indicatiiifr the grave of Thomas Greenwood of
Newton, Mass., is 3'et, after a lapse of over 200 years, standing
in Newton well preserved in the old cemetery on Center Street.
The stone shows very little of the long time it has been in place.
Nothing is now standing to mark the grave of Hannah, first wife
of Thomas, who was probabh^ buried here, but the gravestone of
her father, John Ward, and others of the Ward family are yet in
place. Aside from the gravestone of Thomas Greenwood there
are today only four other stones yet standing, which mark graves
of the many Greenwoods who have been buried here. These stand-
ing stones are in memory of Lieut. Josiah Greenwood, aet. 83,
Thomas Greenwood, Esq., who d. Aug. 31, 1774, aet. 79, Mrs.
Hannah Greenwood, consort of Thomas Greenwood, Esq., who d.
Dec'r. 23d 1777, aet. 85, and Elizabeth Greenwood, dau'' of Mr.
John & Mrs. Elizabeth Greenwood, who died Octo^"" ye 10th, 1755,
Aged 8 mos & 10 days.
The grave of Thomas Greenwood is near the back of the an-
cient cemetery and is close beside the graves of the Wards. The
standing stone, without mound, alone marks the grave.

THO]MAS GREENWOOD HOMESTEAD
To any person a little acquainted with the topography of
Newton, Mass., the map shown in the front of this volume will
clearly show the location of the estate of Thomas Greenwood,
which he occupied at time of his death and which he purchased of
Isaac Parker. Names of his neighbors and location of their homes
are also given. The map shows the town of Newton as it was in
1700. At present, 1912, all parts of the house of Thomas Green-
wood have disappeared and on the site of the Greenwood home-
stead is now a very large and elegant establishment owned and
occupied by George and Anjie Armstrong. This is now a very
valuable part of Newton. Just when the original house disap-
peared is not known for a certaint3\ It was probably standing in
1841, when the property was bought for $5,000 by Ezra Hutchin-
son from William Ladd.- On June 30, 1866, Ezra Hutchinson sold
to Francis M. Johnson for $28,000 and he had evidently very
much improved the property from what it was when Mr. Ladd
owned it. F. M. Johnson built a large and expensive establish-
ment. The house was partly destroyed by fire after his death and
stood in that state till 1896 when bought by Nathaniel M. and
Elbridge K. Jewell, who rebuilt it. No division of the original
propertj' was made until Aug. 1, 1888, when Susan M. Johnson,
widow of Francis, sold a part of the south side to Mrs. Hope V.
Baker. The Newton boulevard syndicate pared off a part of the
estate and it may have lost a little on the south side when Beacon
street was laid out. The Boston (Sudbury River) aqueduct
passes through the estate. The land originally extended from
Beacon to Hammond streets.
By Middlesex county probate records, docket 6909, old series,
it appears: Thomas Greenwood, Sen., dec'd Sept. 1, 1693, widow
Abigail and sons Thomas and John admrs. ; widow's dower, £88
6s. 5d. of the personal property and to have £1 II s. 8d. annually
from the income of the estate ; eldest son Thomas agreed that 2d
son John should have the real estate, John to pay yearly allowance
to the widow, to pay to Thomas £103 10s. 6d. and bring up Wil-
liam and James till they are 14 years old, teach them to read and
write and have the profits of their labors ; the widow to have 1/3 of
the house and at her death % of the real estate to be divided
among the 4 brothers ; John to pay James and William when of

sons, William and James, Nov. 20, 1694.
Jolin Greenwood, after death of his father, Thomas, occupied
the Greenwood estate till day of his death. His will made Aug.
15, 1737, prohated Oct. 4, 'l737 (Midd'x probate docket 690)
leaves to wife i66, one half indoor furnishings, I/3 corn crop and
use of n. e. room down stairs. Thomas, eldest son. to have £60

estate £10 only ; movables to daughters : Eliz. Childs, Hannah Ful-
ler, Ruth Jackson, Susanna Bacon, after decease of wife and £5
apiece ; balance of estate to youngest son Josiah. As executor of
his father's estate Josiah files an agreement to provide a horse for
his mother to ride to church on.
The third occupant of the Thomas Greenwood estate was
Lieut. Josiah Greenwood, son of above John. His will made 25
j\Iar., 1789, probated 13 June 1792 (Middlesex probate docket
690) provides wife Prudence to abide by her marriage agreement;
legacies to now surviving children, Neverson, Ebenezer, Ester
Murdock, Sarah Greenwood and Alice Clark and granddaughter,
Sarah Bartlett, consisting of books and house furnishings : daugh-
ters Norcross and other children and grandchildren, not mentioned
have had their shares ; to son Ebenezer all the real estate and
personal not disposed of.
The occupancy of the Thomas Greenwood estate by Ebenezer
was only for a few months. A petition, Dec. 17, 1792, reads:
Whereas Ebenezer Greenwood, yeoman, is a person who b}' idle-
ness and intemperance wastes his estates so as to endanger his
family being reduced to suffering, the court orders his removal
from Ex'orship of his father's estate and puts him under guardian-
ship of Dr. John King, Capt. Wm. Hammond, Gent, and Sam.
Murdock. Neverson Greenwood, house wright, is summoned to
administer the estate but declines and Wm. Hammond appointed ;

pay his debts. It is described: 37 acres of tillage, pasture and
meadow, with house and barn pleasantly situated about one mile
from Mr. Homer's meeting house. Sold at public vendue for £331
to John Thwing.
John Thwing, the fifth occupant of the Thomas Greenwood
estate, by his will 1813, left the use of his homestead, about 30 a.,
with house and barn, to his wife Patty for life; balance of his es-
tate to be sold for benefit of his children ; will presented 9 Nov.

POSTERITY OF THOMAS GREENWOOD
FIRST GENERATION
1 THOMAS GREEN WOOD\ a weaver, aged 22, came
from England to Boston, 1665, and two years later settled in the
Southeast part of Cambridge, now Newton, Mass. He m. first,
June 8, 1670 (Wednesday), Hannah Ward, aged about 19,* d.
before 1687; second, about 1687, Abigail {Spring)?^
Mr. Greenwood,! d. interstate, at Weymouth, Mass., Sept.
1, 1693, aged 50 and was interred in the old burying ground in
Newton, leaving an estate of about £480. He was made freeman,
Feb. 2, 1681, a member of the church, a justice of the peace, con-
stable, selectman, of Newton, 1686-71 ; 1690 and 1693, the first
town clerk, which office he held many years. He was one of the
first signers of a petition to the general court. May 8, 1678,
asking that their village be set off* from Cambridge and incorpo-
rated as a new town. There were 64 freemen in the village and 52
signed the petition which represented that they were crippled in
person and estate by the late Phillip's war ; that they were at
great expense in building and enlarging their meeting house and
in building a new house for their minister; that having so many
families now the law required them to support a school of their
* William Ward came from England and settled in Sudbury, Mass., where
he had lands granted to him in 1640. His eldest son John Ward, b. in Eng.
1626, m. ab. 1650 Hannah Jackson, b. in London, Eng., 1631, bap. May 1, 1634.
(See Jackson Family, p. 57.) John Ward was a turner by trade, settled
in the east part of Cambridge Village, now Newton. His father-in-law
conveyed to him and his wife, 45 acres of land, upon which he built his
dwelling house and also a garrison that was used in Phillip's war and re-
mained about 170 years, till 1821, having sheltered 7 generations. At the or-
ganization of the town of Newton, Aug. 27, 1679, he was chosen one of the
first selectmen and continued 8 years. He was the firsi rep. to the general
court from Newton, and was returned 9 years. He had 13 children, Hannah,
the eldest, m. Thomas Greenwood.'
tJohn Spring of Newton, one of the administrators of the estate of Thomas
Greenwood, had a da. Abigail, b. Feb. 2, 1666, and she is supposed to be this
2d wife of Thomas Greenwood. She m. 2d, Feb. 15, 1697, Josiah Fisher, b. in
Sherborn, Sept. 15, 1655, son of Anthony of Dedham. Josiah was rep. to the
general court from Dedham 1699, selectman 1697-1701 ; she d. Sept. G, 1708.
He had 2 wives before Abigail and 1 after, d. Apr. 12, 1736. Children by Abi-
gail were: Abigail (Fisher) b. June 3, 1698, d. before 1736; m. Oct. 21, 1723.

Stoughton, Mass.

own ; that the townsmen had imposed a tax of "three county rates"
without their knowledge or consent which they considered harsh
proceedings. The petition though actively opposed, was granted
and Cambridge Village became New Town, Dec. 8, 1688, which has
since become Newton.
On a tax assessment, Sept. 5, 1688, for "2 persons and estate
6s. 8d." appears the name of Thomas Greenwood as tax Commis-
sioner. His name as one of the Commissioners also appears on the
tax lists for Stowe, Medford, Charlestown and Marlborough in
the summer of 1688, the Commissioners serving under Governor
Andros.
Thomas Greenwood was born at Heptonstall, Eng. The rec-
ord of his baptism appears on the register of the old parish
church at Heptonstall June 4, 1643, son of Thomas Greenwood
of Heptonstall. Thomas, the father, was baptized at Heptonstall,
Feb. 26, 1610, son of Abel (born 1585,) who was son of Rev. John
Greenwood, the Congregational martyr, executed at Tyburn,
Eng., Apr. 6, 1593.
Thomas Greenwood learned his trade as a weaver in his native
town of Heptonstall, where the establishment of woolen manu-
facture took place at a very early period. Members of the Sut-
cliffe family were manufacturers of cloth in the vicinity of
Heptonstall as early as 1311. The old Heptonstall Cloth
Hall, which stood on the North side of the church yard at Hepton-
stall, was long a market place for the sale of the product of the
clothiers of the vicinity.
The line of ancestry of Thomas Greenwood back to Wyomarus
runs through John the priest given in the ancient English pedigree
of this volume.

mond on S. & W.; John Druoe on N. — 21 May, 1691. Mortgaged not en-
dorsed but probably released by the heirs.
*Thomas Greenwood used three "e's" instead of two in spelling his
last name. His father, Thomas, his grandfather, Abel, and his great grand-
father, John, the priest, used the same method of spelling Greenwood, but
the four sons of Thomas sjielled the name with two "e's" as the name is
universally spelled today. Thomas Greenwood's method of spelling his name
is but one of the numerous ways used by the earliest members of the Green-
wood family before any set form was established and it has been an aid in
tracing his ancestry. Previous to the year IGOO the Greenwood name was
variously written: Grenwod, Grenwode, Grenewod and Grenewode. A John
Grenewodde was living at Grenewodde Lee in 1439 and a John Grenwodde was
a curate, in Heptonstall, 1520 to 1541. The name William Grenehude appears
in a will proved at York, Jan. 30, 1430. The name Tliomas Grenewoodde
appears in a will dated Nov. 11, 1543. A Luvecock Grenehod was before the
court at Wakefield in the year 1274. A will of Joan Grenehude, widow, was
proved at York, May 14, 1491; also, a will of John Grenehode, of Bramham,
proved at York, Apr. 24, 1484.

Lydia , b. , d. . He d. Dec. 1, 1766. Another
record (Boston) says Jan. 1, 1767. Mr. Greenwood graduated
from Harvard 1717, preached in Seekonk, Mass.; Mar. 10, 1720,
he agreed with the selectman of Rehoboth, Mass., to teach school
for 6 months for £12 for the first quarter, and the second quarter
at the rate of £45 per year. Nov. 14, 1720, the town voted
"Whereas the church of Christ in Rehoboth having made choice
of Rev. Greenwood to preach the gospel amongst us for the
present, the question being put whether the town would concur
with the churche's choice, voted by the town to raise £70 per
annum till we have a minister settled amongst us." Feb. 13, 1721,
a vote by the town was taken for inviting Mr. Greenwood to be-
come the minister of the west part of the town [his father's former
parish]. 119 votes were cast in favor of the measure and only
5 against. June 10, 1728 the Rev. John Greenwood and Rev.
David Turner presented petitions to the town for an increase of
their salaries, stating that their present salaries were inadequate
to their comfortable support, the town in answer to their petitions
voted to add to Mr. Greenwood's salary £20, and to that of Mr.
Turner £30, making each of their respective salaries £100.
Rehoboth, Dec. 2, 1757.
To the first church of Christ in Rehoboth under my pastoral
care. Brethren: — Whereas, by Divine Providence I am rendered
unable thro bodily infirmity to carry on the work of the
ministry any longer, after 30 odd years labor therein, and
whereas, you presented to me the town's resolutions not to grant
any support for another minister here except I release my salary,
ye ministering lands and quit my pastoral office ; altho I think
it not reasonable in the town to defer it, yet for peace's sake and
that the gospel might not be hindered, I release my salary from
the eleventh day of March next as aforesaid and by the advice of
some ministers and brethren called to advise in the aff^air and at
the desire of this church, I do likewise promise to ask and to
receive of this chruch a dismissal from my pastorate over them as
soon as a council of churches can conveniently sit for the orderly

doing of it, provided the church, particular persons, or the town,
or any or all of them, will come under obligation for my support
and maintenance during my natural life to give me £20 annually
to be paid one half money and the other half in specie equal to
money, the first year to be paid the 11th day of March, A. D.,
1759, and so from year to year by the 11th of March successively
during my natural life as aforesaid, and that I and my estate be
not taxed toward public charges. John Greenwood.
These propositions the church and the town readily acceded to,
and 40 individuals pledged themselves jointly to raise annually
the support required, agreed to give yearly various sums each
from €2 to 2 bushels of corn, or 2 bushels of rye. He was suc-
ceeded by Rev. John Carncs, a native of Boston.*

'On the stone close beside Thomas Greenwood's grave, are these words
still plain to be read 1898: "Mrs. Hannah, consort of Thomas Greenwood,
Esq., who died Dec. 23, 1777, aged 85." Jackson's History of Newton says
"Thomas Greenwood m. Lydia ." Thomas Greenwood in his will be-
queaths "to Lydia, my beloved wife," and her petition to have the will proved
is signed "Lydia (her -(- mark) Grenewood." It is possible she had a double
name, tho that was not common at that time. We think most likely a mistake
was made by the stone cutter or the one who ordered it. They named their
first daughter Hannah and she named her first child Lydia.
fThomas Greenwood's will is dated Aug. 10, 1774, in which he makes his
son-in-law, Capt. John Woodward, the sole executor, gives his son Thomas 20
shillings, and to the children of his son John Greenwood, "John my best gold
ring and to Thomas Judson my next best gold ring and to Elizabeth another
gold ring and also 20 shillings to be equally divided among them." All other
property to his executor for the maintenance of his wife, Lydia, and at her
death all remainder of property to be equally divided between his son Joseph
and daughter Hannah. The sums given to Thomas and the children of John
were considered their full and just share considering what they had previously
received. The homestead consisted of 86 acres of land.

206 WILLIAM GREENWOOD^ (William^, Thomas^)
eldest son of Dea. William and Abigail (Woodward) Greenwood
of Sherborn, Mass., b. there Nov. 4, 1721 ; m. , 1745, Abigail
Death, b. Oct. 3, 1723, d. Oct. 1, 1814, daughter of John and
Elizabeth (Barber) Death* of Framingham, Mass. Mr. Green-
wood was a carpenter in Sherborn, moved to Dublin, N. H. as
early as 1762, as he worked on the roads that year, and was the
second English settler. Nine other persons from Sherborn
located there soon after. May 4, 1762 he was chosen one of a
committee to measure and establish the bounds of a ten acre lot
for a meetinghouse, which he erected. He was also chosen to
provide a preacher for two or three Sundays as soon as may be.
The first meeting of the proprietors of Dublin held in that town,
was at Wm. Greenwood's house, 1764 ; only two previous meetings
had been held, and those were held in Dunstable, Mass. In 1765
he located permanently with his family on lot 8, range 6. The
town of Dublin was incorporated 1771, when it had 23 voters.
At a meeting of the township proprietors Feb. 14, 1771, at the
house of Eli Morse, William Greenwood was chosen moderator,
and was one of a committee to sell the lands of delinquent pro-
prietors to pay their taxes. Apr., 1773, the meetinghouse being
completed, he was chosen one of a committee to plan out the pew
ground. He and his brother Joseph were on the committee of
inspection to see that the resolves of the Continental Congress
be observed. He and his sons, Eli and Joshua, served in the Revo-
lutionary War. The hardships of these pioneers are hard for
people of this time to fully appreciate. It is said that on one
occasion the snow being so deep that horse or ox teams could not
move, Mrs. William Greenwood put on snow shoes, took a half
bushel of corn on her shoulder and went by marked trees seven
miles to Peterboro, the nearest mill, had the corn ground and
returned home the same day. Mr. Greenwood was killed at the
barn raising of Dea. Benjamin Leonard, June 28, 1782. It is
probable he served in Revolutionary War under Capt. Joseph
Parker, paid July 18, 1776, £10.25, and under Capt. Solomon
Stone, Col. Enoch Hale, July 21, 1777-Sept. 26, 1777.
*The name Death is from the French De Eth, is found in county Kent,
England, and hais been misspelled or Englified in this country into Death.

and at the end of one year they presented me with
a silver service costing $104, of which I am very
proud. I made paper for 35 years, made many im-

of wood. I invented the only machine for making
envelopes now in general use ; sold paper, cotton and
silk machinery for 12 years ; real estate for 15 years ;

given 24 hours' notice to leave town because I was
*a damned abolitionist.' I left in six weeks. I built
four of the best paper mills in the country and was
credited by good judges with making paper equal
to the best English, French and German. My relig^
ion is humanity, — do good, live honestly, uprightly.

trade. On his return to Winchendon worked for a
couple of years for Major Sidney Fairbank, whom
he then bought out and formed a partnership in car-
pentering and building with Charles E. Forristall. Mr.
Raymond later bought his partner's share in the busi-
ness, Mr. Forristall continuing in his employ until
1865, when he took the sole charge of the business for
one year, Mr. Raymond being obliged to give his en-

partnership was started by ilaym.ond, Forristall and

mend who has for several years had the entire active
management of the business, his father remaining a
silent partner. By force of circuaistances he became
interested in the grocery business, in the Tucker-
Rice block, of which he owned 1-3 interest. His eldest
son, Hcrvey T., h;is for some years had the active
managership of the store, his father's name being the
onl}"^ visible sign of his connection with the business.
He has filled many responsible positions in town af-
fairs, selectman from 1861-6, assessor in 1863-4,
overseer of the poor, committee for making plans for
the brick school, and various other stations of trust
and esteem. He also had the entire charge of raising
troops for the War of the Rebellion. He joined the
First Congregational church when a boy, but in young
manhood drifted away from the tenets of his child-
hood, but in 1859 he became a member of the Baptist
church and has ever since been a consistent and in-
fluential worker. Many of the poor of the town have
cause to revere his memory for kindnesses heaped up,
pressed down and running over. A man of great in-
tegrity and energy, he was ever amenable to reason
and ready to yield his own way to the wish of the ma-
jority. For fifteen years he had been a sufferer from a
chronic and hereditary form of rheumatism that led to
ossification of the hip joints, so that he walked with
extreme difficulty and with the aid of canes. He m.

Chadwick, 1). in London, Oct. 15, 1852. Mr. Whitney
was a man of rare natural ability, indomitable energy,
and ])erseverance. At the age of 17 he went to Cal-
ifornia in a sailing vessel 'round Cape Horn, arrived
in San Francisco with a working capital of ten cents,
and made his way to Placer County gold mines. But
gold digging did not suit his taste, and he engaged in
shooting birds and larger game for the city market,
thus accumulating his first capital. In about a year
he returned to New England and commenced shipping
goods to his brothers in San Francisco, with whom he
was a partner in business, but soon transacted the
business on his own account. During the Civil War
he was a member of the independent corps of cadets of
Massachusetts, guarding the distinguished Confed-
erate officers, prisoners of war in Fort Warren in
Boston harbor, 1862, and after, as captain of Co. F,
second Massachusetts regiment. Having been quite
successful, in 1865 he retired from commercial life and
having from boyhood a strong passion for athletic
and out-door life, he sought the mountains and parks
of Colorado, making his way across the plains before
any railroad existed and while the route was inces-
santly threatened by hostile Indians. While in Colo-
rado, he wrote the first book on that comparativel}'
unknown territory. It attracted wide attention, and
proved a forcible argument for Colorado's admission
to statehood. He was appointed sole commissioner
of Colorado to the Paris Exposition in 1867, and
received the first gold medal, awarded unanimously by
the international jury, who recommended him to the
especial consideration of the Emperor, from whom
he received the decoration of the Legion of Honor
for his exhibit, which was considered the best in the
American department. So great was his popularity
in Colorado that the Democrats and Republicans
unitedly nominated him for the U. S. Senate, and
would have unanimously elected him had he not
preemptorily declined ; whereupon the legislature
passed complimentary resolutions, recognizing his em-
inent services, had them handsomely engrossed upon
parchment and forwarded them to him in the name
of the Commonwealth. He made four round trips
across the plains to the Rocky Mountains before the
completion of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1868,

two of which were in 1865, while the Indian wars were
raging. He purchased land largely, improved it by
irrigation, and in 1875 had 11,000 acres in grain. He
was the first to raise and cure raisins on a
large scale, having a vineyard of 250 acres, and in
1877, sliipped the first carload that ever went East
from the state of California. He, with others, owned
nearly a million acres of grazing land in New Mexico,
300,000 acres of which were fenced and stocked with
about 20,000 cattle. Almost unaided, he built and
equipped the Silver City and Deming Railroad of 50
miles, in New Mexico, was president of it two years,
and later sold it to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Co. He had a splendid residence on his Spring Valley
ranch of 25,000 acres in Rocklin, Cal., surrounded
by extensive grounds, beautifully laid out with many
miles of picturesque drives. He also had a summer
resort in the woods of Maine, "The Pines," at Range-
ley Lakes, where he spent the summers. He was
public spirited, building railroads and reservoirs for
irrigation and was forward in every enterprise for the
public good. He was president of the Placer County
Board of Trade, and officer or director in many indus-
trial enterprises ; d. at Monterey, Cal., Jan. 17,

Tucker tavern property, situated on the fifth Massachusetts turn-
pike, just completed as a through stage route from Boston to
Albany, N. Y. There were 4 taverns on this turnpike within a
distance of 2 miles. He entertained the traveling public, cultivated
the extensive lands belonging to the property and manufactured
tubs, pails and barrels, which were all wrought out by hand. Aside
from 3 saw and gristmills, this was the only manufacturing busi-
ness in town. In 1820 he disposed of the tavern property to his
brother-in-law, William Whitney, and erected a cooper shop
60 X 30 feet, 1^ story, at the corner of Main and Mechanic
Streets, for the manufacture of tubs and pails. He employed
regular hands and the shop was a place of much activity and
hard labor, as the only tools employed were the axe, saw and
shave. Much of the product was sent to Boston by teams, a dis-
tance of 60 miles. This work he continued till his death by rup-
ture, Oct. 24, 1846. Not long after this, water power and machin-
ery were introduced by Thomas Temple Greenwood [No. 3345].

mechanic in East Templcton and Boston, Mass. Though
his life covered but a brief period and was constantly
restrained from following out any special line, his me-
chanical ingenuity was striking. In the space of two
years, while employed in a mechanical pursuit, he in-
vented and put into use a machine for boring wooden
chair seats for caning, wonderful for the rapidity with
which it did the work, and one which in all its main
features is used today by all chair manufacturers. He
improved a machine for squaring and cutting to a given
length the stock used in wooden chair-seats, by means
of double circular saws. Though he believed no machine
could be made that would run prepetually by its own
force, he gave his mind to the study and did construct
one that would run several hours, which was regarded
as a great wonder. It was generally believed that had he
been permitted to live to the allotted age of man, and
had better health, he would have taken rank among the
distinguished inventors of the country. He m. July 28,

Mr. Greenwood was a farmer in Dorchester, that portion in-
corporated, 1868, as Hyde Park.* Leaving his home at Sherborn
at the age of 19, Mr. Greenwood walked to Boston, owning nothing
of this world's goods but the clothes he wore and 50 cents in
money in his pocket. He obtained employment in the ice business ;
later in Faneuil Hall market, where he earned sufficient money to
purchase one of the stalls (No. 99-101). At the market, with his
brother Bela, he remained until he bought the farm now bearing
his name in Hyde Park, Mass. By public acknowledgment of the
faith, he joined the Baptist Church at Hyde Park in the fall of
1863, and on July 17, 1864, with his wife, was baptized in the
Neponset River, near the Fairmont Avenue bridge. He was a
member of the school board of the town of Dorchester, was public
spirited, gave land across his farm for the construction of Har-
*The Greenwood Grammer School at Hyde Park was named for Elihu
Greenwood, who owned a large farm at the time the town was laid out and
incorporated, Apr. 22, 1868 (it was originally a part of Dorchester), sold a
large portion of it to the Hyde Park Land and Building Company; but gave
the school-house lot to the town and an eight room school building was erected.
Twenty years later the house was destroyed by fire and a new one erected
on the same spot. The Greenwood district has seen the largest school at-
tendance of any in town, and is rapidly increasing. Greenwood Avenue and
Greenwood Square were also named in honor of Elihu Greenwood.

S782 Charles Freeman (Brown) b. Nov. 12, 1833, converted
at 17 he united with the First Baptist church in Cam-
bridge, and ever after maintained a consistent Chris-
tian character. He was a druggist and his profes-
sional services were sought for the medical dispensary
on board the U. S. schooner, John Griffin, of the mor-
tar fleet, under Com. Farragut. He distinguished
himself by devotion to his particular line of service ;
was incessant in his labors for the sick and dj'ing, and
contended heroically with the diseases peculiar to a
southern climate. In the absence of a chaplain, he
served as such, and showed in the midst of severe temp-
tations and trials the mighty power of grace, and how
that can fit the most unassuming to perform even
bolder and nobler deeds than facing the cannon's
mouth. A naval comrade says of him: "He was a
living epistle, known and read of all men, nor do I ever
remember meeting with any person so thoroughly con-
scientious and unswerving in religious principle. We
reached the Bahama Banks in company with another
vessel on Sunday morning and came to anchor. The
captains of each agreed to spend the day fishing at
the Orange Keys and invited Charles to accompany
them. His reply was, 'I should be happy to go with
you on any other day, but dare not go on the Lord's
day.' They arrived at the navy-yard at Pensacola on
Sunday morning, and again the captain invited him to
go with them, but he replied, 'It is against my princi-
ples to go visiting on Sunday.' On our arrival at Key
West he asked the captain for the privilege of holding
meetings on board, which, after a week or two, was
granted, and it was a thrilling sight to see him stand-
ing on the quarter deck, surrounded by the ship's
company, lifting up his voice to his Heavenly Father
for a blessing to rest upon the officers and men of our
vessel. I have seen the captain on his knees after leav-
ing our meeting. I shall never forget when at the
close of the day we held our evening devotions, how
he would lift up his heart to God in behalf of those
around him who had never experienced a Savior's
pardoning love. Nor can I cease to remember how,
when a number of the sailors were down with inter-
mittant fever he would try to get them to read some
tract or religious book ; and especially in the case of
a young man who afterward died. He was to be found
Fifth Genekation 285
daily at his bedside reading and praying with him, and
endeavoring to impress upon him the necessity of a
change of heart." As his revered father and loved
brothers and sisters were longing and expecting to
see him back again, to recruit his exhausted energies
by breathing his native New England air, and enjoy
the love-tokens of a large circle of friends, the sad
tidings came that he died in Pensacola hospital of
yellow fever, Sept. 26, 1862. His name is on the
soldiers' monument in Cambridge.

merchant in Milwaukee, Wis., and his firm was one of
the largest in that city. He was a wide-awake, vigor-
ous business man. Much interested in music ; at the
age of 15, with but six weeks of practice, he played
the violin in the church choir of his native town of
Gilead, Me. He first entered the di'y goods business in
the store of C. F. Hovey & Co., Boston, Mass., as clerk,
where he served in that capacity six years. In 1850,
with his brother, Hannibal, he opened a store on Han-
over street, Boston, under the firm name of T. A. &
H. G. Chapman. For seven years here and on Tre-
mont street in Boston the firm carried on the dry
goods business. In 1857 Mr. Chapman moved to Mil-
waukee, Wis., and under firm name of Hasset & Chap-
man established a dry goods store on East Water
street of that city. Mr. Hasset retired at end of five
years and was succeeded by Mr. Charles Endicott,
who remained in partnership with Mr. Chapman three
years. Since that time and until his death Mr. Chap-
man was alone in business. In 1885 Mr. Chapman's
store, including its entire contents, was destroyed by
fire with a loss amounting to nearly $700, 000, the
336 Greenwood Genealogies
property being only partially insured. Mr. ('iiH})nmn
received letters and telegrams of sympath}' from the
trade far and near for his great loss and being
strongly urged by the ])eo])le of Milwaukee to rebuild
he erected a new building covering a space on the
ground floor of over 17,000 square feet and so artistic
in style and so well arranged for business that the
building is regarded as one of the most perfect retail
dry goods stores in the country and a store the city
of Milwaukee is justl}' proud of. At time of his
death Mr. Chapman's employes with their families
numbered more than the combined population of the
